This year marks 25 years since Hasbro introduced the legendary G.I. JOE VS. COBRA storyline, and to commemorate the anniversary, Devil’s Due Publishing, Inc. has commissioned artist Chris Lie (G.I. JOE: SIGMA 6) to draw an unbelievable wraparound cover featuring EVERY well-remembered and loved G.I. JOE team member from the past 25 years! G.I. JOE: AMERICA’S ELITE #25 begins a new 12-issue story arc written by Mark Powers (Former Editor of X-Men) titled World War III, featuring G.I. JOE “Sins of the Mother” artist Mike Bear. Issue #25 is available July 4th, 2007 and contains 9 extra pages of content including a fold-out poster of the cover and special bonus features!
